This original lamp design was completed in 2002 working in the old Battle Creek Shop. The 8 sided shade is done in 100% solid quarter sawn white oak, with replaceable shade panels that will accommodate either mica or art glass. The electrical fixture is a newly made genuine Edison solid brass UL approved dual cluster, and it has very smooth action of the pull-chains. The sockets of our lamps are patinaed to look old. The lamp is made and signed by the Craftsman Phillip Myer of Ragsdale Home Furnishings, and is a new creation in the arts & crafts style. By themselves, or by the pair they make a statement that compliments any mission style setting. The lamp stands 20 high, and measures 21.5" x 21.5" at the shade, and has nice proportion. Made in the USA.

The right mission oak lighting can add drama and elegance to your rooms. Different mission oak lamps lighting effects contribute to create that atmosphere. General or ambient mica or stained glass lighting begins to set the mood; whether turned up bright or dimmed down low. The even glow from mica shaded lamps or a mission chandelier sets the tone. The mission oak light through a pleated shade is exactly this type of warm rich light. Ambient mission oak lighting often works along with task lighting; a arts and crafts lamp pulled up next to a reading chair or next to a bed provides the direct beam of light that is task light. This is the light that lets you read or work in a dimly lit room. But it is also the contrast between general mission oak light and the sharper pools of task light that lend mystery and drama to an interior. The most romantic light is accent lighting in our world that means mica lamp shades. The gleam of candles through mica hurricanes, the glow of votives in stained glass scattered through the room across the dining table or along the mantel. Tappers aloft above a dining table, bathe the china & crystal in a soft glow, nothing is more atmospheric than mission oak light. Often all three types of light are used together a dark entrance hall glows with candles and barley a glimmer from a mission chandelier the hall gives way to the brighter sparkle from silk shades and crystal from the room beyond.
